The mother of Zhao Yongsen and Zhao Tian Tian. She was caught trying to play both sides - having her son engaged to Tang Yunling while also eyeing Liu Cuifang as a better match due to her Beijing educated youth status and commercial grain family.

When confronted, she claimed her son realized true love with Liu Cuifang and said he would take responsibility.
